Answer
In MD, a vehicle must be declared a total loss if the repairs exceed 75% of the value.  It appears you are at 72%.  If the repairs will cost any more, or if the value is slightly lower than 9810, then it could be a total loss.  If this is what you want, I'd recommend complaining to the MD Insurance Administration as they may be able to assist.
